Rineland. Not sure it’s a battery issue with this update. Mine won’t go through either. I’ve had the same issues as you. Also left the charger on overnight and it still didn’t download.
If it makes any difference I changed my 08 Lariat every 7500 based on the OLM. When I traded it in the truck had 245,000 and still didn’t use any oil between changes. The only engine work I did was to replace the thermostat.
My 09 Lariat had 245,000 miles when I traded it in on my new truck. It didn’t use any oil. The only engine repairs I did was to replace a thermostat. I changed the oil based on the OLM with a synthetic blend. I think a lot of people are overthinking this. By all means do whatever works for you.

Dafish I’m right there with you. I have always had great luck with Motorcraft batteries until now. The one in my 09 worked great for six years. I know these new trucks are vastly different, but I’ve already had the charger on this “new” battery more times than I did my 09 in 13 years! It...
Wasn’t happy the remote start didn’t work. I hadn’t driven it for a few days. I guess between that and the cold the battery was low again. Started fine from in the truck. I guess I should just go get an h8 battery and be done with it.
If you get on a steep wet boat ramp you’ll not only want it, you’ll need it. It sucks having to ask someone to pull your boat out for you. I’m not doing that, again😀
